Reservoir Dogs
“Every dog has his day.”
19921h 39mDir Quentin Tarantino8.1TMDB
A botched robbery indicates a police informant, and the pressure mounts in the aftermath at a warehouse. Crime begets violence as the survivors -- veteran Mr. White, newcomer Mr. Orange, psychopathic parolee Mr. Blonde, bickering weasel Mr. Pink and Nice Guy Eddie -- unravel.

Our take
Watch our take on Reservoir Dogs.
The scene we cut
I don't tip
"I don't tip because society says I have to." Mr Pink versus the whole table.
Tarantino wrote himself in as Mr Brown but originally wanted to play Mr Pink. Buscemi got the part after his audition, and Tarantino later admitted Mr Pink's tipping speech is exactly how he felt when he worked at a video shop.
